ISTANBUL: THE CONGRESS CENTRE
Istanbul ranks 19th
among the world congress cities and 12th among European cities.
Istanbul has modern congress facilities and centres to accommodate all needs,
so it could be the preferred city for your meetings too. There are both
privately owned congress facilities and luxury hotels offering special deals
for congress and meetings.
EATING AND DRINKING
Luxurious restaurants and
historical buildings converted into restaurants showcase the delicacies of
Turkish and international cuisine in Istanbul with the additional bonus of the
postcard perfect scenery of the Istanbul Strait and panoramic views over
Istanbul.
Historical site that reflect
the different features of Istanbul’s past are some of the possible venues for a
refined dinner. If you are opt to have your dinner with a view of the Istanbul
Strait and a panorama of Topkapi Palacee , Ayasofya or Sultanahmet there are many restaurants available to meet these
criteria, situated in fully modernized historical buildings. You can find
virtually any cuisine in Istanbul, from any culture and style aplenty. Our
recommendation is to try Turkish cuisine, which is of the 3 greatest cuisines
of the world. However if you prefer other cuisine of the world there are many
high quality restaurants to choose from. Restaurants serving Iranian, Russian,
Argentinean food tend to cluster in Istiklal Street area.
The delicious fish dished are
highly recommended. The Sea of Marmara has since Roman times provided excellent
fish and has shaped the cuisine of Istanbul.Palamut (Atlantic Bonito) and Lufet
( Bluefish) are the primary fished of the Istanbul, depending on the season
through each type of fish is prepared differently –fried , grilled or baked for
example – according to the seasons. The best fish restaurants are along the
shores of the Istanbul Strait. If you prefer not to go to luxury restaurant but
have a fish meal there are many boats serving grilled fish and salad in bread.
Istanbul not only brought
together many cultures but also created a kind of melting pot of Anatolian
culture as a whole.Many Anatolian natives chose to live in Istanbul at some
stage in their life because of the employment opportunities and they created a
cultural mosaic of their own by bringing their own cuisines to Istanbul. This
is why you can find in Istanbul flavours from across Turkey. Most of these
restaurants can be found around Sultanahmet and Spice Bazaar.
